Battleship naming conflict

Today I have got an email from Google. They say, that they have to remove the Battleship Sci-Fi games from the Google Play market (as all other games, which have the word Battleship in their name) because of the trademark infringement. Looks like the Hasbro company has a registered trademark for the word "Battleship".

I hope Google will be able to re enable the game in short, since the internal name of the game was always "CosmicPatrol" (as can be recognized on each logbook screenshot). So I plan to name the game back to the original version. The game has been once renamed to be found more easily on the market for people who search for the good old pen&paper game "Battleship" (wiki-link).

To be continued...

So, a new version (1.9.11) of the game has been uploaded to the Google Play market. The only change is the name of the game, which is now again 'CosmicPatrol' as the very first versions published on the market
